This market insight is about microencapsulated phase change materials (MPCM) as incorporated into textile components such as fibers, yarns, fabrics, foams and gels. These textile components, when used in manufacturing garments, apparel, bedding and mattresses, become endowed with temperature control properties. Temperature control relative to ambient temperature makes the wearer of the garment comfortable despite being in extreme weather conditions or while exercising, and provides comfortable sleep when applied to mattresses. The regional scope of this market insight report is global.
